The Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is dead.
A very family member as well as other reliable sources in the state government confirmed to ROVING REPORTERS on Wednesday that Akeredolu died in Germany, though the details still sketchy.
“Akeredolu is dead; he died in Germany and not in Lagos as being speculated ” the source said.
He was 67 years old.
The ailing governor returned to Nigeria in September following a three-month medical leave in Germany and only recently proceeded on another one after he was directed by President Bola Tinubu to hand over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
His deputy, Aiyedatiwa has been standing in as Acting Governor.
Following his return to Nigeria in September, Akeredolu stayed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and tried to govern his state from there, leading to public outrage.
